Slightly Misrepresented.

lCopWight 1887 by James Gordon Bennett
PARIS (via Havre), May 2O.--TNew York
Herald Cable-Special to the BEE.- l.
A friend of General Boulanger equests me
to state that according to precise information
which he has just received the interview that
appeared in to-day's Herald entitled Frank
Words From Boulanger," may or may not
express the general ideas, but he knows that
the general. who confines himself to the
strictest reserve, did not authorize the publ-
catisn of that interview. l, as Paris cor
respondent of the Herald, regret that the
person sent on this mission may have
said in his zeal more than was required.
Among the numerous people whom l am
compelled to select, the choice Is always
made of a man who is known to be on the
friendlest relations with the parsonage to be
interviewed. For instance, II want news
from the Greek legation, send Greek; If
from the Turkish embassy, send Turk.
In this instance, following this rule send
a Frenchman to the French minister of war.
This friend also states tnat General Bou-
LANCER intends to do his duty, and think
that is what the interview expresses. But
whether the general is in the minis
try or out of it, believe that he
Is the most important factor in the
present situation, and l regret that
his friend should have taken exceptions to
the patriotic and really unseltish remarks
made by the general in his interviews. And
to-day when this interview in the Herald Is
cabled back aud reappears in the French
papers, in my opinion, General Boulanger
will be still more the idol of the French peo-
pie an d the bugbear of the Germans, as he
goes out of Office gracefully to render ser
vice to his cOuntrymen, not in ahuff, as some
America senators do now and then.

Strikes and Riots.

PITTsBURG, May 2o.-A serious phase in
the coke strike at Everson developed this
morning when mob of three hundred ne
groes and Hungarian miners, armed with
bludgeons, suddenly appeared in the coke
yard at the Jimtown works of Colonel Shoe
maker. Without any warning
they made savage attack on
men engaged in drawing out from the ovens
there. Such laborers as could not escape
were cruelty beaten, one man being so badly
kicked that his life is despaired of. Having
destroyed all movable property the rioters
then marched to the works of James COch-
ran Il Sons, and destroyed the property
there. The total destruction of property will
probably amount to over 700.
1t is learned this afternoon that some of
the officials of labor ORGANIZATIONS are blamed
tor the riot this morning. 1t is said they
advocated such movement on the part of
the strikers, ...I

country dispatches were received to-day by
President Tappan, of the builders exchange,
and President Downey, of the master

meeting this afternoon to prepare state
ment to the general public. Although the
opinion was not unanimous the council de-
cided that there was no necessity for hurry,
and that the statement should not be issued
for several, days. especially as the master
masons, who started the tight upon trades
unions. had not yet passed upon the card
of principles proposed. The assemblage
of the executive board Of the national build

New YORK, May 20.-lSpecial Telegram
to the BE e. The trial of Charles b. Rey-
nolds for blasphemy was.begun in court of
oyer and terminer at Morristown, N. j., yes
terday. Charles b. Reynolds is about fifty
four years of age, and was formerly an or
dained minister in the church of the Seventh
Day Adventists. He was prominent men,
ber of the New York conference of this body,
which is strong. His ultimate espOusal of
secularist beliefs caused him to sever his
connection with the church. He was scarcely
off with the old love before he began working
out on an itinerant lecturing tour. Last
July he landed in Boonton, intending to
make three months stay in that neighbor-
hood and speak under the auspices of the
suited IN a small riot. in which his tent
was pulled down about the ears of
himself and his congregation. His at
tempttO procure the arrest OF a minister and
occurrence resulted in his own arrest on the
charge of blasphemy, and he was bound over
in the sum of $500 to await the session of the
next grand jury. The prosecutor, however,
him. In, October, Reynolds published {, {,
pamphlet on "Blasphemy and the Bible"
His attempt to distribute copies of this in
MOrristown and its vicinity resulted in his
again being indicted under an old New Jer-
sey statute against blasphemy and from Oc-
tOber till his trial yesterday was held In $500
bail. Throughout the proceedings yester-
day he was perhaps the coolest man present.
He smiled to the ladies' in the gallery, many
of whom were from the Boonton Liberal
league, and occasionally whispered with his
counsel. The evidence for the prosecution
was the pamphlet itself. Colonel lngersOll,
who defends him, said he hadn't any wit
nesses, but would make few remarks. He
argued two hours in behalf of the liberty
of thought and speech, and took the ground
that the statute under which his client was
indicted was not constitutional.
